Manager Luo from Nu City, Shanyin County hurried into the elegant room and saw a tall white scholar admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands on his back. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.

I thought some big customer came and focused on him to receive him. It turned out that he was useless to be a scholar.

Scholars are stupid and like to pretend to be noble the most. They rarely appear in slave markets, saying that they are insulting their ethics. They say that gentlemen are far away from the kitchen and cannot bear to see the miserable situation of animals being slaughtered, but they like to eat meat more than anyone else.

Officials are basically successful scholars, and the housekeeper will naturally come to buy slaves. Scholars who buy slaves themselves are often short of money, but they are very sad and have high requirements. They buy a maid, but they fantasize about studying at night with red sleeves. They wish they were young and beautiful, and they knew the words of their writing. It is best to be able to recite poems and play the piano and flute.

Haha, there is no need to think about it. These wonderful people all came from the confiscated family of officials, and were divided up in the royal city as early as the royal city. They were sent to the county city at the first time, and then they were sent to the county city at the first time.

I spent money on the fire girl and wanted to take away a daughter, bah!

However, all the guests came, and they met each other. As a standard businessman, although Luo Tong was not happy, he squeezed a flattering smile on his face and bowed: "Master Luo Tong, I have seen the young master."

Chu Fan turned around and briefly ordered: "Close the door."

Luo Tong was stunned, put away his underestimation, and gently closed the door as he said.

Although the young scholar's clothes were ordinary, he had a steady aura and confident look, and he could never be cultivated overnight. He asked to close the door, and there must be something important to discuss, and the business would not be too small.

"Young Master, please have tea, let's chat slowly."

After the two sat down, Luo Tong picked up the tea that had been brewed early and smiled and signaled.

When discussing business, you usually have a polite greeting first, and you can find out the details before you can make a price. But you know that the other party is straightforward.

"Manager Luo, I heard that you are the slave transactions in Lujiabao?"

Luo Tong put down the teacup and replied:

"It's true when I go back to the young master. Not only Lubo's family, but also several other big families are managed by me."

Chu Fan continued:

"I want to buy a few slaves from Lujiabao, and you can help you do it."

"this……"

I rarely encounter slaves when I designated to buy them from somewhere, but it is not without them. Luo Tong pondered:

"Under normal circumstances, if they want to sell slaves, they will discuss with us first, and then send them to the slave market to pay the valuation. If we take the initiative to buy, we may have to pay more money."

"You don't have to worry about this, tell me, what kind of market is there now?"

When Luo Tong heard this, he knew that the other party didn't know the price of the slave, so he was about to say more. The scholar glanced intentionally or unintentionally, and his heart was shaking, as if he had been seen through, so he had to answer honestly:

"I wonder if the young master wants to buy a male slave or a female slave? A strong labor force costs ten taels of silver, and the slave market will cost 20% of the commission. If it is a female slave, the difference will be huge. A girl who burns fire only costs six taels of silver, and a young and beautiful girl can cost at least twenty taels. It is not yet considered that the commission for the slave market, the official tax... If the young master is designated to buy at Lujiabao, Lu Bo will definitely raise the price. It is better to choose from the slave market..."

Chu Fan waved his hand, interrupted the conversation, and said:

"Don't worry about money, do as I said... Go to Lujiabao to buy four slaves immediately, don't waste time. Remember, a strong laborer is called Atu, his wife Ahua, who is four months pregnant. An eleven-year-old girl named Xiaocao, and her mother Xiongba, is a widow..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong turned his head and saw if the door was closed, and snatched it:

"Young Master's words must not reveal a trace of wind."

"Why is this?"

"There was once a general Meng Dai in my country. Have you ever heard of it?"

"I heard it."

Chu Fan frowned, wondering why the transaction of slaves was related to the enemy Meng Dai.

"Meng Dai was originally a son of the family of Marquis of Haining. He made military achievements before he regained his freedom. Later, under the appreciation of Marquis of Xiaoyao, he became a general. But his old mother was still a slave of Marquis of Haining, and he could not redeem even if he had a thousand taels of silver. I heard that Marquis of Xiaoyao and even King Li had come forward to coax people, but Marquis of Haining refused to let go, and no one could do anything about it."

"Oh, I understand."

Chu Fan nodded and said:

"You are worried that if the news leaks, the Lu family will threaten it and offer a sky-high price. It doesn't matter, only you know about this matter at the moment, and there will be a way out. Whoever dares to disrupt the situation? Humph, I will make him lose money."

Luo Tong complained secretly, thinking, this is what you insisted on telling me, but I don’t want to inquire. Could it be that if something goes wrong in the future, I will still cause trouble for me?

"Young master, there must be a solution. I can say that I have shortage of slaves recently. I went to Lujiabao to pick it, but the price was just a bit more expensive. The problem is that I don't know these four people. Once the names are spoken, the Lujia will definitely be alert, and I'm afraid the lion will speak loudly."

Chu Fan disagreed, shook his head and said:

"Mr. Luo, I have an idea. After entering Lujiabao, you walk along the Xiaoshui River embankment. In the valley closest to Daishan, a family planted a gardenia tree in front of the door of Atu and Ahua. As long as you find Atu, he will find the grass and embroidery for you. I have told him that someone will buy them out in the nearest future."

"Well, this method works. However, the young master said that Ah Hua was pregnant for four months and it was difficult to hide her body. I am afraid that she would have to calculate one more person. In addition, in order to prevent the Lu family from seeing the clues, it is very likely that she would need to buy one or two more slaves to cover up..."

"Okay, okay, Manager Luo, you don't have to talk to me about the details. In short, you act according to the opportunity. Calculate carefully and find out how much money it takes to get things done."

"Young Master, first calculate six people, at least sixty taels. The commission is twelve taels, totaling seventy taels. With the official deed tax, the price of buying slaves at home is slightly higher, and the maximum amount of the total is at least eighty-five taels."

"Yes, I will pay one hundred taels. The excess money will be your personal reward, how about it?"

Tsk, I would give you a reward of fifteen taels with just a swipe. It is important to know that the county magistrate's salary is only twenty-four taels of silver per year. The young master is simply a god of wealth delivered to him. Fortunately, he did not neglect it.

Luo Tong was overjoyed, stood up and bowed, and said respectfully: "Thank you, my son, haven't asked for the name yet..."

Chu Fan smiled slightly and said, "You shouldn't know, don't ask. Also, after you buy it, you can help them get rid of their slaves..."

Luo Tong was stunned when he heard this and quickly explained: "The young master is the master's family, and I cannot handle the matter of getting rid of slaves. I must go to the government to file a record and issue a document."

Chu Fan smiled and said:

"It's okay... If you buy it in the name of Nushi, you can naturally get rid of your family in the name of Nushi. I have been doing a lot recently and can't be busy."

Luo Tong pondered for a while, and knew that the slaves had a great relationship with the scholar in front of him, and said:

"This... can be done for you. However, these people have taken off their slaves and become civilians. At least they have to find a place to stay. The young master has arranged someone to pick them up?"

Chu Fan said:

"That's natural. Someone will come in half a month. If you don't bother the two masters, I simply gave out another 100 taels of silver. I would bother the manager Lauro to rent a house for them in the county town, and share the remaining money for them as food and drink, and take care of them on weekdays."

Luo Tong nodded and was stunned again. He thought to himself, this is not just buying slaves, it is clearly a recognition of relatives.

Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Chu Fan said:

"I have signed any contracts from different slave markets. In short, you can help me get this done. It's just a lot of 200 taels of silver, but I haven't brought it with me at the moment."

Luo Tong's face suddenly changed.

Grandma, you guys talk for a long time, and it turns out that they are silver-shaped guns, playing with a flower gun.
